if i go into town to buy a radio. can i? just a radio. just something anyone has been able to go and buy for the last 70 years. can you still just buy "a radio"? a lot of the general home department store type thing has been shutting down lately. the tech type places just sell computer stuff and phone chargers. big supermarkets with a large electronics section probably have a cheapest-of-the-cheap shower radio in the shape of a seahorse hopefully. a seahorse for your earthquake/hurricane go-bag
